Reviewing the Adventist Review

September 15, 2011
Vol. 188, No. 26

GENERAL COMMENTS
This issue had some happy surprises and one report by Ted Wilson that should prove cautionary as he circumnavigates the world with his revival and reformation sermons. His GERMAN TRIP designed to connect Adventist Leaders, Laity, Pastors in Revival Focus provoked questions that required Ted to reaffirm that “There is no part of the Bible or of our fundamental beliefs that is not important.” His fundamentalist views were questioned pretty directly.

HAPPY SURPRISES
Sandra Blackmer’s report on THE FULL PLATE DIET described a diet that has every chance of producing “A Paradigm Shift” in the way Americans, even omnivorous ones, go about dieting.

In MY CHURCH SAVED ME, Emily Carlson makes the case for not giving up on Adventism even though she doesn’t know how to fix the problems she enumerates. Listing the problems from a young member’s perspective can be a first step in their solution. Officialdom, are you listening?

THE ONLY ARTICLE I’LL EVER WRITE ABOUT FELLOWSHIP MEALS by Andy Nash is a humorous classic. It’s a MUST READ.

Carlos Medley’s REST FOR THE WEARY is a very practical defense of the Sabbath.
